Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become an emerging health issue globally, posing a threat to zoonotic pathogens and foodborne diseases. In Bangladesh, the poultry sector supplies majority of demand for animal-source protein. The irrational excessive use antimicrobials (AMU) been observed in sector. development AMR is associated with many factors, including knowledge attitudes farmers. Therefore, reduction requires intervention from all stockholders, farmers who are considered as end users...
Current evidence indicates that more than half of all antimicrobials are used in the animal food-producing sector, which is considered a significant risk factor for development, spread, and existence antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pathogens animals, humans, environment. Among other factors, clinical etiology level knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP) veterinarians thought to be responsible inappropriate prescriptions animal-source protein production sector lower-resource settings like...
Poultry production has boomed in Bangladesh recent years. The poultry sector contributed significantly to meet the increased demand for animal source proteins country. However, use of antimicrobials appeared be a significant threat food safety sector. drug and feed sellers are at frontline position involving selecting delivering farmers. Studies assessing sellers’ knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAPs) limited. current study aimed assess community KAPs antimicrobial (AMU) resistance (AMR)...
The objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence gastrointestinal parasitism (GP), and determine effects age, sex, breed, body score weight in occurrences GP cattle Banskhali Upazilla, Chittagong, Bangladesh. A total 50 fecal samples randomly collected directly from rectum cattle. examined by routine coproscopical methods for presence different parasites oocysts. Overall infestation was 72% (n=36/50). Prevalence Paramphistomum spp. found be highest (30%; n=15/50) followed...
Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and heart disease (RHD) are autoimmune mediated diseases triggered by group A streptococcal (GAS) infections. Molecular mimicry between GAS M-proteins host tissue proteins has been proposed as the mechanism that initiates autoreactive immune responses in ARF/RHD. However, individual role of antibodies T-cells specific for pathogenesis carditis remains under-explored. The current study investigated development Lewis rat valvultis (RAV) model transferring serum...
Gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic infection is considered a common problem in sheep and goat production Bangladesh. The current investigation was undertaken to determine the prevalence of GI its associated risk factors (e.g., age, sex, nutritional & deworming status etc.) goats Sandwip Island, Chattogram, A total 330 faecal samples which 220 110 were taken using random sampling method. All subjected routine coproscopy direct smear, flotation sedimentation) detect eggs/oocysts helminths...
Most causative agents of babesiosis, Babesia parasites, are transmitted transovarially in ixodid ticks. In this study, B. gibsoni, the agent canine babesiosis which has transovarial transmission, was detected tissues vector tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis using a modified quantitative PCR assay. Conventional results showed that newly designed primer set, amplifies 143-bp fragment rhoptry-associated protein-1 (BgRAP-1) gene 100 times more sensitive than primers targeting P18 encoding 18 kDa...
Abstract The role of group A streptococcal and Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis M-protein specific Abs T-cells in endothelial cell activation was investigated using cultured rat aortic cells, a model autoimmune valvulitis. Heat inactivated serum mononuclear cells from immunized rats independently induced upregulation the adhesion molecules, vascular molecule (VCAM)-1 intercellular (ICAM)-1 cells. We also observed T-cell migration across monolayers incubated with...
Significance Tuberculosis (TB) susceptibility and disease are significantly exacerbated in people with type 2 diabetes. The underlying mechanisms incompletely understood, it is not known if new TB vaccine candidates will be safe provide protection the context of Using a long-term diet-induced murine model diabetes, we demonstrate that increased to caused by impaired mycobacterial recognition killing diabetic lung. Importantly, show mucosal vaccination mice Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG)...
Abstract Background An in vitro artificial feeding technique for hard ticks is quite useful studying the tick-pathogen interactions. Here, we report a novel semi-artificial adult parthenogenetic tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis , using mouse skin membrane. Findings Skin with attached was removed from body at 4 to 5 days post-infestation construction of system. This system supplied rabbit blood kept >95% relative humidity 30°C during feeding, and were fully engorged (artificially engorged,...
We previously identified a cDNA from the ixodid tick Haemaphysalis longicornis that encodes leucine aminopeptidase, HlLAP. Functionally, recombinant HlLAP effectively hydrolyzed synthetic amino acid derivatives. Here, we investigated temporal expression profiles of midgut in adult H. parthenogenetic ticks starting blood feeding until just before onset oviposition. Midgut transcript level was higher during post-engorgement period than period. Endogenous also observed with Histological...
A total of sixty adult stray dogs (32 male and 28 female) randomly captured from different locality Chittagong metropolitan area were euthanized during the period May 2010 to January 2011.The necropsized observe presence Spirocerca lupi in their oesophagus producing characteristic nodular lesions.The associated haematological changes also determined.Twenty four (40%) positive (40.62 % 39.28 for spirocercosis having oesophageal lesions.One three broad based lesions with an average diameter...
Tick infestation is commonly found in every commercial cattle farm and domestically reared cattle. Farm generally used acaricides to treat tick infestation; however finding new, cheap alternative source of a prime concern. Here, we investigated the in-vitro efficacy verenda (Ricinus communis) leaves extracts infestation. We prepared aqueous, methanolic ethanolic extract apply on ticks. A total 90 ticks (both hard soft ticks) was collected from local area Mymensingh region divided into 3...
We previously identified two cDNAs from the midgut of adult Haemaphysalis longicornis that encode asparaginyl endopeptidases/legumains, HlLgm and HlLgm2. Functionally, both recombinant HlLgm2 efficiently digested blood proteins, haemoglobin bovine serum albumin. Here, we investigated expression profiles legumain genes in developmental stages life cycle H. different tissues ticks. Both were well expressed larvae, nymphs adults. Legumain transcripts specifically localized some digestive...
A 6 year old female Spitz dog was admitted to Teaching Veterinary Hospital at Chittagong and Animal Sciences University with the history of inappetance asymmetric lower jaw.Oral inspection revealed a pair pale enlarged lobulated mass around third molar tooth left mandible.The clinically diagnosed epulis successfully cured by surgical excision.Histopathological section excised masses characteristic features acanthomatous ameloblastoma some atypical lesions.Multifocal areas ameloblastic...
Introduction: Parasitic diseases and Tuberculosis were shown to be the risk factor for each other. Co-infection of visceral leishmaniasis pulmonary tuberculosis are increasing public health problem now a days especially in developing countries. More than 81% cases deaths from TB countries is aggravated by concurrency with parasitic diseases.
 Objective: To find out occurrence Leishmaniasis amongst (TB) patients Kala-azar endemic areas admitted Surya Kanto (SK) Hospital,...
The experiment was carried out to study the effect of genotypes and growth regulators on root induction shoot regeneration brinjal (Solanum melongena) genotypes. Leaf segments three varieties Solanum were cultured MS medium with different concentrations combinations plant regulators. Among tested genotypes, Protab showed highest percentage (65.67%). Early maximum rate found in + 1 mg/L NAA (naphthalene acetic acid) 0.1 mg/LBAP (6-benzylamino purine) for all number roots per counted (73.33%)...
